I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 479

After receiving Li Ran's reminder, Kong Qiu couldn't help but wake up.

Therefore, he also began to delay as much as possible about being invited by Yang Hu to become an official.

At times like this, it is even more important to keep a clear head.

Although Confucius has always hoped to become an official in Lu State, after all, in this era, if you want to make a difference, there is no better choice than to become an official.

But on the other hand, he is also aware of history, and he understands the so-called "one prosperity, one prosperity, one loss, all loss" in the officialdom.

Therefore, in order to be able to protect himself wisely, during this period of time, he himself often went out, just because he didn't want to meet Yang Hu.

On this day, Confucius finally started a class in Xinglin, just as he was explaining "Poetry" to his disciples.

At this moment, Duanmuci came to ask for an audience, saying that Yanghu, the governor of Ji's family, had heard that Confucius was here, and came to ask for an audience.

Confucius also suddenly remembered Li Ran's words, stood up immediately, and said to Duanmuci:
"Ci, you go and answer, and say that the teacher happened to just leave the house today."

Although Duanmu Ci felt strange, he replied to Yang Hu according to Kong Qiu's words.

But Kong Qiu got up and left Xinglin directly through the back door.

On Yang Hu's side, he brought a few suckling pigs to pay respects to Kong Qiu.But Duanmuci told him that Confucius was not there, and asked where he had gone, but Duanmuci only shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

Yang Hu had no choice but to stay with the suckling pig and go to see Li Ran instead.

At this time, Li Ran was learning to read and write with his daughter Li Guang. Ji Le has now been taken away by the doctor. Apart from missing him, he also has a few more expectations and hopes. light around.

Li Ran knew that he owed his daughter too much, and had too little company with her before. Now Li Guang is six years old, and he himself has only been with his daughter for a few months.

Since Ji Le is no longer by Li Guang's side, he should be more responsible now.

When Yang Hu saw Li Ran, he found that he was teaching Li Guang to write, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Ah! Mr. Ziming, I'm really very interested."

Xinglin has an elegant environment, which is indeed suitable for education and recuperation, and this is why Li Ran chose to live here temporarily.

Seeing Yang Hu coming, Li Ran knew why he came here, so he immediately stood up and waved to Fan Li who was not far away.

Fan Li came over and took Li Guang away, Li Guang didn't know Yang Hu, but Yang Hu's size and appearance were somewhat similar to Kong Qiu, so he even smiled at him, and then retreated.

After Fan Li and Li Guang walked away, Li Ran said:

"My lord is busy with affairs, but do you still have time to chat here?"

Li Ran came up with a sarcasm, expressing his dissatisfaction with Yang Hu for not listening to him and insisting on attacking Zheng Guo.

Yang Hu could hear this, of course, he smiled unnaturally:
"Hehe, Mr. Ziming said that, but it's a shame for Yang. No matter how busy Yang is, he should come to see Mr. more often. If it weren't for Mr. Deyu's teachings in the past, how could Yang Hu be like today? ?”

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but sneer:
"Hehe, I don't dare to take credit for it. I hope that if your lord really causes disasters in the future, you don't have to talk about me, Li Ran. What your lord is doing now has nothing to do with Li. After all, even if you give Li Ran If you are ten courageous, Li would not dare to lead the Lu State to enmity with its neighbors! Not to mention coercing the king to order the ministers, and using it to show off his might!"

Yang Hu's expression changed slightly when he heard this.Obviously, Li Ran is still the same Li Ran. Although he doesn't participate in the political affairs of Lu State, he still treats him, no, he still knows everything about the whole world.

"Mr. Ziming's lesson is that Hu is indeed a little anxious this time, but now that the matter has come to this point, it is too late to regret it."

Li Ran knew that Yang Hu actually had no remorse, and according to his character, he would definitely continue to stir up trouble there until he achieved his goal or committed suicide.

And the soft words he said now are nothing more than wanting Li Ran to stand up for him, and even to advise him.

Li Ran sighed:
"My lord, now my lord is commanding the State of Lu as an accompanying minister, and the entire State of Lu is under your control. But... I hope that your lord will still need to restrain himself and return to courtesy when doing things, and be more cautious."

"With all due respect, what you are doing now is too short-sighted, and it is harmful to your future!"

Yang Hu didn't take Li Ran's words seriously. He always believed that as long as he could get the support of the Jin State, then he didn't have to care about everything.

Therefore, although he was displeased with Li Ran's words, he still lowered his posture as much as possible in front of Li Ran.

"Mr. Ziming's words are very true, so in the future, I still need Mr. to come out to help me..."

Hearing this, Li Ran shook his head directly:
"Excuse me, Li, I didn't mean that."

Yang Hu was obviously stunned for a moment:
"Mr. Ziming, you didn't say that when you were in Yunyi, did you?"

Li Ran said calmly:
"I just sigh that today is different from the past. Zhuo Jing is seriously ill, life and death are uncertain, and her daughter also suffers from heart disease and needs to be accompanied. As a father, Li Ran can't let his daughter suffer any more."

"I hope Lord Yang can understand Li Ran's feelings as a father."

After hearing this, Yang Hu couldn't help sighing:

"Mr. Hu Zi understands Mr. Ling's feelings, but Mrs. Ling has gone to Qin State to seek medical treatment, and Ling'ai is now by your side. Whether Mr. is an official or not, it will not prevent Mr. from always being by your side. Therefore, Mr. I'm afraid the words are inconsistent with the reason?"

Li Ran shook his head again, and said firmly:
"However, at present, I am temporarily living in the State of Lu to observe the ceremony as the Taishi of the Zhou royal family. If I take up another position in the State of Lu, it may be very inappropriate..."

Gradually, Yang Hu showed some displeasure:

"Mr. Ziming..."

At this time, Li Ran didn't say much anymore, he just got up and waved:

"Your Excellency is busy with state affairs, so don't waste your time with Li Ran. I have to accompany my daughter to practice rhythm. Please walk slowly, Your Excellency."

Yang Hu looked at Li Ran and walked away without giving him any face, which made Yang Hu feel unhappy.

But he also knew that Li Ran's reputation in the world and his reputation in the Lu country were also growing day by day, so he must not be offended.

Moreover, his original intention was to invite Li Ran out of the mountain, so there was no need to turn against him.

Therefore, Yang Hu was only depressed for a while, and then left alone.

Li Ran picked up Li Guang and watched Yang Hu go away. At this moment, Li Guang said:

"Father, this man is not a good man."

Li Ran couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that at such a young age, how could Li Guang tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy?

"Guang'er, his appearance, stature and appearance are almost the same as that of Mr. Zhongni. When you say that, does it mean that Mr. Zhongni is not a good person anymore?"

Li Guang shook his head decisively.

"Although they look somewhat similar, they feel different."

Hearing these words, Li Ran's mind was racing for a while, and he only felt that although Li Guang was young, she was so intuitive.

That's right, Yang Hu and Kong Qiu, in a sense, no matter from their birth, growth, or even their current standpoint, they can all be classified as one-way people.

However, the difference between them is very different.

And God, it happened that the bond between the two of them was so deep.

Perhaps, this is a small joke made by God for them.

……

After Kong Qiu hid for a while, he returned to Xinglin, and Duan Muci immediately came to Kong Qiu and told about the suckling pigs left by Yang Hu.

When Confucius heard the news, he stomped his feet and shouted:

"Oh no! This is terrible! Hey, Ci, you have caused trouble for the teacher!"

Duan Muci was puzzled when he saw his master reacting like this:

"What's wrong with Master? It's just a few suckling pigs, and it's time to return the gift..."

Kong Qiu said helplessly:
"As a teacher, I wanted to avoid him, but now he sent a gift. According to the etiquette, how can a teacher not return the gift? But once the gift is returned, wouldn't you see him again? I'm afraid Trouble continues again and again. Give it! Give it! You have really caused a big trouble for the teacher!"

Duanmuci was also quite aggrieved, after all, before Kong Qiu left, he never cared for him like this:
"These little pigs are what Master Yang Hu insisted on keeping, how can this disciple shirk them? There is really no way!"

Confucius couldn't help sighing:

"Hey...forget it, it seems that the teacher has to find another method. Ci, this matter is all caused by you, and now you are watching the movements of Ji's mansion for the teacher. If Yang Hu leaves the mansion , immediately come to report as a teacher!"
